Ladbrokes bingo review

Ladbrokes is a name that should be immediately familiar to anyone in the UK who has ever had even the most fleeting interest in betting. Whilst not synonymous with high street Bingo halls, like rivals Gala and Mecca are, Ladbrokes betting shops are a familiar sight in the UK's towns and cities - unsurprising when you learn there are over two thousand of them! With a history that goes back over one hundred years, Ladbrokes has grown to be one of the world's leading gaming entertainment companies handling 10 million bets every week and a staggering £12 billion in stakes each year! Such statistics not only boggle the mind, but also endorse Ladbrokes as a company that has achieved a reputation for trustworthy conduct and secure transactions that should inspire nothing but confidence in anyone considering playing its online Bingo. Having established that playing Bingo with Ladbrokes is going to be a safe bet online, it's time to ask the question ‘is it going to be a fun bet too?'
Returning to review Ladbrokes Bingo from an earlier expedition shortly after it launched, we were immediately delighted to see that its website has been revamped curing pretty much all of our previous criticism. The Bingo area of Ladbrokes no longer feels like a hasty bolt-on, and welcomes new and returning players with a clean, functional layout that is very easy on the eye and a huge improvement on the previous lack-lustre effort. There's also far better navigation and content to help new players assess Ladbroke Bingo's charms and get started - some information is a bit scattered, but overall we must praise Ladbrokes for the excellent quality, detail and depth of its website's published help. Every step and feature of the Ladbrokes Bingo experience is covered with great clarity in its help pages such that we doubt any visitor will be left scratching their bonce about how to play, pay and chat like an old hand at this online game. We like. We like a lot.
One thing that never disappointed us during previous reviews was the actual gaming at Ladbrokes Bingo, and we're happy to report nothing has changed there! You'll find very fine 90 and 75 ball rooms to play (‘rooms' being more appropriate than ‘halls' since they've been given names like Attic, Snug and Bedroom - although try explaining to your hubby that you've had a fantastic time in the Bedroom while they've been out at the pub!) with great chat facilities, populated by a great community of players and deftly moderated by Ladbrokes' friendly CMs. Chat and minigames add extra fun to proceedings and everything takes place within a really attractive and user-friendly game screen. Ticket prices are also very affordable, going as low as 2p per ticket on some sessions in the 24-hour schedule so you can get a lot of Bingo to the pound here.
Signing up to play Ladbrokes Bingo for the first time is dead easy and it's worth noting that the created account and login can be used across the whole range of Ladbrokes gaming and betting entertainment - if online Bingo is just one of several Internet betting activities you enjoy, a single Ladbrokes account could be the convenient ‘one-stop-shop' you're looking for. We also noted - and must praise Ladbrokes for - the inclusion of a compulsory ‘deposit limit' question in its online registration. Betting on online Bingo should be fun, but any gambling can be a problem if it's not handled responsibly so it's good to see Ladbrokes putting some safeguards in place for their customers by asking them to consider and set a daily, or weekly limit to deposits into their accounts. This is good practice and something we hope other online Bingo halls will adopt.
Promotions are one area of Ladbrokes Bingo that new players might find a bit of a let down, as there's no bonus to stuff into your new account without making a deposit, and the Welcome Bonus on first deposits maxes out at £20. No-deposit bonuses aren't the be-all and end-all of online Bingo promotions, but we do like the companies that offer them to new players as it's a nice way to let them trial the games before committing to play more regularly. You can't even load the Ladbrokes Bingo games to watch a session in action without having made a first deposit, which we think is a bit stingy! We can vouch that Ladbrokes Bingo games are great, but it is nice to have a little look around for yourself isn't it?
Ladbrokes Bingo has made tremendous improvements to its service since launch and now offers new players a hall we are very happy to recommend. As mentioned above, promotions are not a strong point at Ladbrokes Bingo, but the quality of its round-the-clock games, customer support and chat more than make up for that. Factor in the wider vista of gaming entertainment your single player account can access here and we'd say going for (Lad)brokes is going to be a very good bet.
